One of my favorite Filipino dish is the Kare-Kare paired with ginisang bagoong alamang, whew mouth-watering, isn’t it? Originally ox tails are used as meat ingredient as what I did in this recipe, but a lot of variations can be used like beef tripes, pork hocks, beef or chicken meat, etc.
The dish is cooked with peanut sauce using ground peanuts and peanut butter. Toasted rice flour is also used to thicken the sauce and mixed with vegetables like banana blossom, eggplant, string beans and bok choy leaves. It is a little tedious dish to prepare, but believe me it is far more better than just using a ready-mix kare-kare flavor that can be found at supermarkets. Your labor will be rewarded by the festive taste to this Kare-Kare, and don’t forget the ginisang bagoong which makes them a perfect pair!
